[quote=Swarley] Well right now I guess the thing that's bothering me is my own envy of talented people. There's so many things out there (Specifically artistic endeavors) that I know for a fact I'm not able to do, however I really want to do them. Blech, I don't even know what I'm saying. [/quote] I feel your pain, man/woman. I have a hard time dealing with my own failures in self expression. But I try to avoid comparing myself to others in favor of a more self-guided route where I act as the judge, teacher, and student. Because, in a round about sort of way, everything we do in life pleases ourselves. So why not be upfront about it? That's a personal philosophy of mine.
